La Truitelle Mountain Troutlings w/ Lemon & EVOO
About This Tin
La Truitelle's Mountain Troutlings with Lemon & EVOO presents a delicate harmony of pristine rainbow trout bathed in premium extra virgin olive oil and brightened with fresh lemon. Each tin contains two to four whole rainbow troutlings harvested from the crystal-clear waters of the Cathar Pyrenees, where they develop the exceptional texture and clean flavor profile that has earned this innovative producer numerous accolades since their 2019 debut.
Born from François Isambert's vision at the Pisciculture de La Fajolle—an organic-certified fish farm nestled at 1,150 meters altitude in the Haute-vallée de l'Aude—these troutlings represent France's pioneering venture into certified organic tinned seafood. Each fish is raised for at least 8 months in mountain springs according to rigorous ecological standards before being carefully steamed and hand-canned without freezing, preserving their remarkably wild-like texture and nutritional integrity. The addition of quality EVOO and bright lemon creates a preservation medium that enhances rather than masks their natural alpine freshness.
What Makes It Special
- High-Altitude Farming: Raised at 1,150 meters in the Pyrenees mountains, these trout develop in some of Europe's purest spring waters, resulting in exceptional taste purity and texture.
- Environmental Leadership: The first AB-certified organic small fish in France, produced with up to four times less fish meal than larger species, offering a sustainable alternative to overfished pelagic varieties.
- Artisanal Process: Each troutling is hand-canned in a traditional French cannery without prior freezing, preserving the fish's delicate structure and nutritional benefits including omega-rich fatty acids.
Perfect Pairings
- Mediterranean Grain Bowl: Arrange over warm pearl couscous with roasted cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and herbs, allowing the lemon-infused olive oil to dress the entire dish.
- Pyrenean Picnic Plate: Serve alongside crusty baguette, sharp cornichons, fresh radishes, and soft French cheese for an alpine-inspired spread that highlights the trout's clean flavor.
- Summer Potato Salad: Gently flake the troutlings into warm new potatoes with fresh herbs, capers, and additional lemon zest, creating a sophisticated twist on a classic that showcases their delicate texture.
